After an action-packed couple of months, our busiest burning season yet is at an end (November 2021).
This autumn we conducted 14 ecological burns in grassland vegetation. Eight of these were at Merri sites and 6 at other locations across greater Melbourne, including a few sites that haven’t seen a fire for several decades. We’re very excited to see what grassland treasures emerge from these reserves this spring!

Thanks to staff from the Cities of Hume, Moreland and Darebin, along with Metro Trains and VicRoads for working together with us on these burns.
